Abstract: A computer-implemented method for correcting artifacts in computed tomography data is provided. The method includes inputting a sinogram into a trained sinogram correction network, wherein the sinogram is missing a pixel value for at least one pixel. The method also includes processing the sinogram via one or more layers of the trained sinogram correction network, wherein processing the sinogram includes deriving complementary information from the sinogram and estimating the pixel value for the at least one pixel based on the complementary information. The method further includes outputting from the trained sinogram correction network a corrected sinogram having the estimated pixel value.

Abstract: The present approach relates, in some aspects, to a multi-level and a multi-channel frame work for segmentation using model-based or “shallow” classification (i.e. learning processes such as linear regression, clustering, support vector machines, and so forth) followed by deep learning. This framework starts with a very low resolution version of the multi-channel data and constructs an shallow classifier with simple features to generate a coarser level tissue mask that in turn is used to crop patches from the high-resolution volume. The cropped volume is then processed using the trained convolution network to perform a deep learning based segmentation within the slices.
